Rejected petition Ban of homework
Rejected on
The fact that homework is taking up precious childhood, i’m also jealous of the fact Ireland has banned homework, it would also save schools a fair amount of money. To a lot of people homework is also a mental strain and makes it incredibly stressful and difficult.
It is ruining our holidays, for example: holidays/breaks are supposed to be fun and joy for children and teenagers, homework prevents us from having an adequate childhood. I am more than happy for this to be published
